Paradise

Paradise When I look at how the world is... that, it's broken beyond repair... and, it comforts me just knowing... that you exist, and that you care Even though, some people laugh and doubt... they don't even know what you're about... In the end, they'll know just who you are Chorus Paradise... I can feel, your love surround me Paradise... I'm so glad, your truth has found me Paradise... because of faith in you, I have survived... to see, Paradise... this evil world has passed away and so I praise your holy name every day I look around, there's no more strangers... every one has a friendly smile... I'm convinced, now more than ever... that serving you, was so worthwhile Now, I see the whole world is at peace all of your enemies deceased... Finally, all anxieties released Chorus Paradise... I can feel, your love surround me... Paradise... I'm so glad, your truth has found me... Paradise... because of faith in you, I have survived... to see Paradise... this evil world has passed away and so I praise, your holy name every day repeat chorus fade to zero John Derek Hamilton July 25,2017

Some look forward to a heavenly paradise, it's true, but just imagine when the earth is restored to paradise, and like Jesus said in the Lord's prayer, Let your will be done ON EARTH as it is in heaven, what a glorious day that will be! Thanks for your nice visit and comment!
